The 'trab' board configuration is broken, and there is nobody who is
interested and willing to fix it.  Drop it.

This includes support for VFD displays which have always been used by
this board only.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Now that the other architecture-specific lib directories have been
moved out of the top-level directory there's not much reason to have the
'_generic' suffix on the common lib directory.

The TRAB board references local libgcc helper routines
(lib_arm/div0.o and lib_arm/_umodsi3.o) which cause build problems
when we try to use the normal, compiler provided libgcc instead.
Removing these references allows to build both with and without the
local libgcc helper routines.

Many (especially ARM) tool chains seem to come with broken or
otherwise unusable (for the purposes of builing U-Boot) run-time
support libraries `libgcc.a'. By using the "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC"
setting we allow to use alternative libraries instead.

"USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" can either be set as an environment variable in
the shell, or as a command line argument when running "make", i. e.
	$ make USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
or
	$ USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
	$ export USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
	$ make

The value of "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" is the name of the directory which
contains the alternative run-time support library `libgcc.a'. The
special value "yes" selects the directory $(OBJTREE)/lib_$(ARCH) .

Note that not all architectures provide an alternative `libgcc.a' in
their lib_$(ARCH) directories - so far, only ARM does.

Commit 1bc15386 moved the examples/ to examples/standalone but failed
to adapt the Makefiles that need to link against libstubs.a

Use our own local functions in lib_arm/ instead.

Additionally export the following fuctions (to make trab_config build again):
- simple_strtol()
- strcmp()

Also bump the ABI version to reflect this change
